SPEAKER 05 :
It’s the Kim Munson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 21 :
The socialization of transportation, education, energy, housing, and water. What it means is that government controls it through rules and regulations.
SPEAKER 05 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 21 :
Under this guise of bipartisanship and nonpartisanship, it’s actually tapping down the truth.
SPEAKER 05 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 21 :
On an equal field in the battle of ideas, mistruths and misconceptions is getting us into a world of hurt.
SPEAKER 05 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 21 :
Indeed, let’s have a conversation, and welcome to the Kim Munson Show. Thank you so much for joining us. You each are treasured, you’re valued, you have purpose. Today, strive for excellence, take care of your heart, your soul, your mind, and your body. My friends, we were made for this moment in history. And thank you to the team. That’s Producer Joe, Luke, Rachel, Zach, Echo, Charlie, Mike, Teresa, Amanda, and all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting. Happy Wednesday, Producer Joe.
SPEAKER 19 :
Happy Wednesday, Kim.
SPEAKER 21 :
And, my, we’ve got a lot to talk about. But it is Wednesday, and that means that it is Wings Day at Hooters restaurants. You buy 20 wings, you get an additional 10 for free, and that’s to go or to dine in. And that is one of their specialties, is wings. And they have great specials Monday through Friday for lunch and for happy hour. Great place to watch the games. How I got to know them is a really important story about freedom and free markets and capitalism and politicians. So those PBIs, politicians, bureaucrats and interested parties that think that they know better how you should live your life than you do. And so it’s really an important freedom story, how I got to know them. And yesterday was Election Day, and it was a very successful day for the radical activist Democrats, really, it looks like, across the nation. And it’s going to be interesting to see how all of this plays out. But there were races throughout the nation, a couple of gubernatorial races, races, one in New Jersey, one in Virginia, that the radical activists took that as well. It’s important to understand that this Democrat Party is not the Democrat Party of JFK and your grandpa and your grandma. Those Democrats, they loved America. The radical activists want to, I have this in air quotes, fundamentally change America. And so we’ve got a lot to talk about. So we will jump into all of this. And throughout the show, we’ll hit different things. But I wanted to say thank you to Laramie Energy for their gold sponsorship of the show because it’s reliable, efficient, affordable, and abundant power from naturally occurring hydrocarbons such as oil, natural gas, and coal that powers our lives, fuels our hopes and dreams, and empowers us to change our own personal climate to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. And as you know, on the show, we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. And it’s never compassionate nor altruistic to take other people’s stuff, whether or not it’s their rights, their property, freedom, livelihood, opportunity, childhood, or lives via force. And force can be a weapon, but it can also be policy and unpredictable in excess of taxation, fear, coercion, government-induced inflation, and this agenda of the world economic forum and globalist elites that is trickling down and playing out right here in our communities. And so we need to understand what’s going on. And we are in a big battle of ideas, a big culture war. And we are in this battle for the hearts and minds of our of our citizens. And that’s why we do the show is to kick the tire on these issues so that we can engage in this battle of ideas with our friends and our family and our colleagues. and our neighbors, and it takes a lot of work to get your brain around these ideas, but that’s why we do what we do. As you know, we focus on the issues, try to stay out of the personality fighting. We’ll mention the people that are pushing issues, but we really work to stay out of all of that. But what I see with the results across Colorado, is that it’s the old Colorado GOP strategy, and that is the consultants win and the candidates lose. And the difference, I think, from what I’ve seen is the Democrats play to win, and it is the radical activists that have taken over the Democrat Party, and they play to win. And over on the Republican side, typically the first word out of the words out of consultants mouths to candidates is how much money can you raise instead of how can we win this? And so we’ve got to change the mindset and the strategy here in Colorado. And so we’ll continue to kick the tires on those ideas as well. I want to say thank you. to all of the candidates that stepped forward to run. And it’s a commitment for them. It’s a commitment for their families. And it was really a disappointing night across the board here in Colorado. But I want to say thank you to each and every candidate that stepped forward, took time out of their lives to run for office. And do not give up. Colorado is at the tip of the spear. And do not give up. So first thing is our word of the day. And I think I could probably use this word as we look at the results of the mayor race in New York with Mamdani winning that. The word is portent. It’s P-O-R-T-E-N-T. It’s a noun. It could be an indication of something important or calamitous about to occur, an omen, a prophetic or threatening significance. And number three, Something Amazing or Marvelous, a Prodigy. And this is from the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, fifth edition. And I think that Mondami’s… election is a portent of what is to come in New York City. I used to love New York City. I used to go back there on a regular basis, but there’s no way that I would go to New York in this state that it’s in at this particular point in time. Our quote of the day is from John Adams in his inaugural address in 1797. He was born in 1735, died July 4, 1826. He and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day, 50 years to the day after the Declaration of Independence was signed. He was the second president of the United States. He said this, in the midst of these pleasing ideas, we should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties. if anything partial or extraneous, should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections. And that was John Adams back in 1797. But life goes on, and there’s much to do, but it’s also time to stop and reflect as we are coming into Veterans Day, to stop and think about all those in our country that have put on the uniform, and been willing to put their lives on the line for our liberties. And a woman that really keeps that alive is Paula Sarles. She is the president of the USMC Memorial Foundation. We have the official Marine Memorial right here in Colorado, in Golden at 6th and Colfax, and they have a great event that is coming up. Paula Sarles, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, thanks for having me, Kim. And yeah, we do have a great event coming up.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, we do. And this is going to be on Saturday. And I plan on getting out there. I have committed to another veteran to do something that morning, but I think that I should be able to do both. So I’m planning on being out there at 2 o’clock this Saturday. So tell us about the event, Paula Sarles.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, we’re going to be, of course, celebrating our veterans from all branches of the service because the memorial mission is to honor Marines and remember all who serve, so it’s for everybody. And our guest speaker is Jesse Clay. He’s a corpsman, a Navy SEAL, and he’s a four-time heavyweight world champion in kumite, which is a martial art. that I know nothing about. I’m actually surprised that you don’t. Yeah. So anyway, he’s a great speaker and it’ll be a good time. And we’re going to celebrate the birthdays of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps for 250 years. And the post office is also 250 years old this year. So I’ll mention them, too.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, and so this is 2 o’clock. It’s out at 6th and Colfax. Tell us about parking.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, parking is across the street. There’s a bank across the way from Home Depot, and they’re closed, so they let us use their parking lot, and we ask people to park there and walk over to the memorial. Okay.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay. And it looks like it’s going to be a nice day as well, I think.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, it’s going to be beautiful, yeah. And God has always provided us good weather, so we’re grateful for that.
SPEAKER 21 :
And why is Veterans Day important, Paula Sarles?
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, it’s a time to honor and remember. We honor those who serve and are serving today, and we remember those… Memorial Day is really from remembering the fallen, but we do that too on Veterans Day. It’s mainly for those that are still with us. to just let them know that their service meant something and that we appreciate what they did.
SPEAKER 21 :
And so, Paula, that is why what you’ve created, the Buy a Brick program, is really important. It’s a great way for it, and we’re coming into the holidays. It’s a great Christmas gift or Hanukkah gift for a loved one. So tell us just a little bit about that.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right. You can donate to the memorial by using the Buy a Brick program, and there are five walkways. The Walk of Service is for all branches of service, and so the memorial is really for everybody. And the Walk of Service is for people that have brothers or sisters or their units that they want to honor. They can put all their names on there. It’s just a great way to honor somebody whether they’re living or not or to memorialize your own service and buy a brick then you get once you buy a brick you get a certificate that’s very nice and you can frame it and give it as a gift to somebody whoever you’re honoring
SPEAKER 21 :
And it really is a lovely gift, and so I’d highly recommend people do that. What is that website to find out about the remodel, to help contribute to the foundation so that you can continue to take care of the memorial as well? What’s that website?
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s usmcmemorialfoundation.org.
SPEAKER 21 :
And again, usmcmemorialfoundation.org. Paula Sarles, thank you so much, and we will talk to you here very soon. And thank you for all the great work that you do for our military and our veterans. I really appreciate it.

SPEAKER 08 :
Good morning, Kim. How’s it going?
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, it’s going well. I am very concerned about the results of the elections, not only here in Colorado, but in the nation as well. Propositions MM and LL both passed pretty handily. The LL, which was for asking… The state was asking to keep all of the excess tax money that they’d collected from us, and 64% of the people said okay. And then on MM, that was regarding, and this ostensibly is for school meals for children, although I think a lot of money goes to bureaucrats’ pockets, but anyway, we’ll continue to watch that. And MM, which was to increase taxes on people that make $300,000 or more, passed 58%. So I am disappointed in that microlic.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, no, I understand. You know, the first thing that I would hope for before asking for more money or to keep overpay, you know, overages would just be where is it? Where can there be fiscal responsibility? Where can there be restraint? I think that’s the first question to ask. I know there’s budget issues in Colorado, but not like we couldn’t see them coming a little while ago. When these things pass, you know, I was looking at this just now. There was not a lot of voter turnout. And especially, you know, on the Republican side, unaffiliated in JEPCO was head and shoulders above even Democrat turnout. So I was looking at that versus what happened in 2024, and it just seems like it’s tough to get people engaged in off years. We had 28 percent voter turnout versus about 75 percent the year before. So unfortunately, it definitely seems like certain elections just don’t hit people’s psyche. But with only 28 percent voter turnout, if you got it to a 50 or 60 percent, the election results can be very different. That’s a really good point. Part of it is a messaging thing to get people engaged.
SPEAKER 21 :
I think that’s true. And Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson said that the elections are or the country is run by people that vote in elections. It’s not how you and I’m paraphrasing. It’s not how you feel about it. It’s like you have to show up and vote. I found something really interesting as I was looking at the secretary of state’s Web site on LL. It was 64.6% to 35.3%. And there was 1,421,884 votes. But over on MM, it was only 58% in favor and almost 42% against. And there was 1,426,000. So maybe about 5,000 more votes on MM. And they split the votes. I just find that curious. I think I’m just going to leave that there for right now. But I find that very curious because it seems to me like that people would vote just the same on that. And I find it interesting that there’s 5,000 more votes for MM than there was LL. And if you want to comment, at this point, I’m just like, huh, that’s very curious.
SPEAKER 08 :
Sure is. The other thing is, how many votes did you say were cast total?
SPEAKER 21 :
One million four hundred and twenty six thousand seven hundred.
SPEAKER 08 :
So, you know, again, regardless of anything else, just just the engagement. And I’m looking at this Web site here from Independent Voter Project. There’s four million and twenty two thousand registered voters in the state. And two point five million sat it out.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, I find that it’s curious. It’s just curious.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, I mean, it just – unfortunately, I think, obviously, you know, there’s questions out there about certain things. But in the end, you know, we can’t let – you can’t let your preconceived notions about whatever, you know, between, you know – things about votes and things about counting votes and what have you, you can’t let all that stop you from going out in the first place and trying. But again, you’re seeing such a such a low turnout in the first place. It’s just kind of shocking.
SPEAKER 21 :
It is shocking because these races are so important. And Mike Johnston, the mayor of Denver, that debt package passed significantly as well. I cannot believe that people are voting to saddle ourselves with all of this debt. It’s just beyond me. But let’s talk a little bit about something more local. You’ve been watching this Glow Park question, which is so important. So tell us about that.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, again, just the whole idea of getting engaged matters. Adrian on the show as well, we were able to bring this case to the attention of the Capital Development Committee by way of first Rep Tammy’s story. Then we talked to Ty Winter and we talked to Senator Baisley and had gotten to email our PowerPoint to Rep Lindsay as well.
SPEAKER 21 :
Mike, if people, if this is the first time they’ve heard about it, set the issue up for us.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, I was going to do that. Basically, what happened was there was a land exchange down on the south side of South Table Mountain. That land was originally Jeffco Open Space. Jeffco Open Space got 160 acres on top of South Table Mountain, which kind of further completes their mission. But then the state got this land and the DOE got the promise. I think they picked up a historic prison as well, but they got the promise of a of a Globe Park which would be kind of an addendum to what NREL is doing. It’s supposed to be a renewable energy research park. It’s about 9.7 acres. They were having trouble finding a private partner, apparently, for the past two or three years. So the state is able to use unused state-owned land for other purposes via these two bills that went through in 2021 and 2022, HB 21-1274, SB 22-130. And they’ll allow… for better or for worse, state-owned land to be used for affordable housing, for mental care facilities, child care facilities, and such. So then they have to get a private partner, but then the state owns the ground lease. In this case, they were looking to do high-density development to like 40 homes per acre, possibly up to eight stories. The issue in the request for quote, though, they say attainable housing – market rate housing, and were feasible some commercial uses. None of those are in the laws, and we can debate the laws, but when you’re looking at the technicals, and this is just something that I would say from when I get involved in things, you take your feelings out of it, and you say, what is the letter of the law? And then where did this thing possibly have mission creep? And that resonated pretty well with everyone we’ve talked to, And they say, well, this is not what the law intended. Whether I like the law or not is not there. They all have to then just look at what’s the letter of the law. It does not cover market rate housing or attainable. Attainable housing would be, in this case, 80% to 120% of the area median income. So that means if you’re making between 80% and 120%, you would qualify for attainable, not the same thing as affordable housing. There are truly some folks out there who would need some help. This is not that. This is not that at all. Market rate housing. And then the state owns the land and has a 99-year ground lease. So it’s just a weird situation. So we got to present our PowerPoint. I did it prior to. I met with some of the state reps. And then Adrian was able to go in person. And then the state representative, sorry, the state employee representative was there as well and actually started discussing some further options, including one of the options of just now being possibly just to wait for that right energy research partner for that land as it was originally intended. And now the actual hearing is somewhere between December and January. So the interesting thing here is, Again, if you’re seeing something that you’re not quite sure about and you say this doesn’t quite fit with the law, this doesn’t quite fit with the community, this doesn’t really fit with what the original intent of this land transfer was or whatever in your particular case, getting engaged and getting the facts together really seems to go a long way. And so we made some great headway on this.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, I love that. And we are seeing some little successes here and there, but it involves people getting engaged and being informed. And it takes some work to learn about these things and to get through these documents, because a lot of the documents are very… They’re long and they’re confusing, I think, by design many times, but getting engaged is so important. And what you’re accomplishing, these little successes, we’ve got to at least celebrate those and then continue on, Mike.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, and when you mentioned the confusing and long documents, that’s something that in our small forum that we did, we actually asked, I think, an important question. Sometimes there is an agenda, kind of like news dump on Friday afternoon for a specific city or county hearing, and then that’s going to be heard on Tuesday. It could be 500 pages, 600 pages of technical data. And our question was, why can’t this be out two weeks prior? You know, so everyone has a chance. And as an elected representative, do you promise to read the whole thing? And when there are red lines or amendments or whatever, are you going to put them on the screen so there’s transparency, you know, like during the hearing? Because those are all very important. You know, we find because it’s so labor-intensive and, you know, technical a lot of times that – People are relying on other people’s opinions who and that might be derived from relying on yet another person’s opinion. And we would like to see more of the Renaissance person spirit where you endeavor to be an expert of the subject matter that you’re going to be voting on. You know, just because you don’t have a degree next to your name or the degrees for something else. I mean, my degree is in music. It has nothing to do with any of this. But if you sit, you read, you ask questions, you find people who understand, you know, and get the hard lessons from them and then go back and read more and then go ask more questions. You’re going to gain a pretty good knowledge of what’s going on.
SPEAKER 21 :
Absolutely. And that it’s so important. We’ve got to do this so that we can reclaim our state and our country. Your final thought, Mike Rollick.
SPEAKER 08 :
Um, again, just that voter turnout. I think, you know, obviously we’re all, we’re more, more on the conservative side. Um, but you can’t lose spirit. I mean, you know, that you’ve got unaffiliated Jeffco and I didn’t look at the other counties yet, but unaffiliated came out more than Democrats. Democrat came out more than Republican. Now unaffiliated could be third party, like a libertarian or constitution party, green party, what have you. We just don’t know because it says unaffiliated. But if we’re not pushing the engagement, even on the small elections, you know, it’s not going to work. We just can’t sit home.
SPEAKER 21 :
I totally agree. Mike Rolick, as always, thank you so much. And these discussions are so important. They happen because of our sponsors. And I really appreciate Karen Levine.

SPEAKER 21 :
And welcome back to the Kim Munson Show. Be sure and check out our website. That is KimMunson, M-O-N-S-O-N.com. And we talked with Paula Sarles earlier today. She is the president of the USMC Memorial Foundation. And just wanted to clarify, their event in honor of Veterans Day is this Saturday, November 8th. The other nonprofit that I highlight on a regular basis is the Center for American Values, which is located in Pueblo. Pueblo is known as the home of heroes because there were four Medal of Honor recipients that grew up there. And the portraits of valor at the center are just really inspirational. I’d recommend that you put that on your bucket list to visit them, and you can get more information about them by going to AmericanValueCenter.org. That’s AmericanValueCenter.org. Please have on the line with me 97 years young Colonel Bill Rutledge, retired United States Air Force. And we want to talk about first grade. And the conversation really precipitated from the interview that we’d had with Open the Books. regarding funding for education in America and how some of these administrators that don’t walk into a classroom to teach children are making very handsome salaries. But the results have been terrible. I would say 60 to 70 percent of our kids cannot read and write and do arithmetic. And there are some kids that have graduated that can’t even read their diplomas. This isn’t okay. And so Colonel Rutledge said, let’s talk about first grade. Colonel Rutledge, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 15 :
Good morning, Kim.
SPEAKER 21 :
It’s good to have you. So set this up for us. During COVID-19, you had sent a letter to the school superintendent where you live, right?
SPEAKER 15 :
Yes, that’s correct. It’s Poudre R1 District, and it’s in Larimer County in Fort Collins.
SPEAKER 21 :
And what was your concern?
SPEAKER 15 :
My concern was, first of all, that our schools were closed. Secondarily, I said that if we had to maintain some of the schools closed, but we could open some, then we should give priority to K-4 schools. And I explained that the reason was that that is a time when they must learn their communicative skills and that when they’re there, they cannot use masks because they have to be able to hear the teacher and the teacher has to hear them. So the teacher would be unmasked and that the threats of them even contracting the disease are much less than for adults. And furthermore, that COVID as such was much less likely to create a significant ongoing health problem compared to what we had had as children when we had almost all of our classmates that had measles, mumps, whooping cough, all before the first grade. And so had the teachers. So it was very important that we be able to see and hear everything that our teacher gave to us. And that was an era, too. Remember, this was 1934 and 1935. It was right in the middle of the Depression. And there were no other big training aids or anything else like this. There was just the teacher and the child. And so consequently… It was so important that we have this interface all the time. Now, this was before there were kindergartens in public schools, and there were no preschools anywhere. So when you went to first grade, you were anticipated that you would start learning from scratch. Now, they knew that we had all been communicating with one another in our age groups, and for probably two to three years. So our ears were attuned to our language. We were conversant in many aspects, but pronunciations and being able to identify words and numbers, we had not acquired that skill. So these are all the things we had to start learning right from the first.
SPEAKER 21 :
Colonel Rutledge, I have a friend, Susan, and I think she worked with her child, and I think she also, at home, before they went to any kind of schooling, I think she had worked with her daughter on reading. I know she’s listening, so let me know. But I think her daughter could read by the age of three. And so there was a lot happening, though, at home many times, right?
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, there was. But also, it was a different era. where the preschool concept had not come in. We didn’t talk about a home schooling, but that’s really what this lady was doing. There were individuals that did have an opportunity, perhaps that one or more of the parents would work with them. But also the economic situation dictated a great deal. Almost all the mothers were at home with their children. but many of them had more than one child. They were very busy. A lot of them had never finished school themselves. I would say my mother and her friends and associates, the majority of them had never finished high school. My father had not graduated from high school, and he went back when he was in his 30s to go to night school to get a diploma for high school. So the whole environment was entirely different. However, we did have a situation where my mother used to read to me quite often, and I liked to sing, so I learned a lot of songs, although I never could read a word of them. I learned them by listening and singing. Tunes also help in the learning process for young children. It’s just like the children’s nursery rhymes in England are very helpful in remembering words, remembering things, and starting to develop a process of hear and learn words.
SPEAKER 21 :
Right, right. And I would recommend that people do a web search for the eighth grade exam for Saline County, Kansas in 1895. And what people learned that had eighth grade educations back then was rather remarkable. But what about vaccinations or inoculations when you were getting into school in 1934, 1935?
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, first of all, there were only two inoculations that were considered effective. One was for smallpox, which had been effective for, gosh, since all the way to pre-revolutionary periods. And the other was diphtheria. Diphtheria shots were not developed until the late 1920s. So we were some of the earlier people to get those inoculations. However, we had already had most of the contagions, but these were two very important ones because smallpox and diphtheria were terrible killers, and they would come and hit especially metropolitan areas. Philadelphia used to be one of the biggest targets in America because it was a port town, and ships would come in from overseas, and someone would maybe have smallpox or conceivably diphtheria. And then before long, the people, the natives there had no resistance and they were not getting regular immunizations. So it was catastrophic. So we in the first grade, we were going to get our shots during the first month that we were in school. And our county health doctor would come And he’d give us a smallpox inoculation on our left arm and the diphtheria on the right arm. There were no infant shots, period. There were no disposable needles, period. There was not one person that I ever encountered in my growing up era who had had any kind of shots until they got their inoculations done. when they went to school.
SPEAKER 21 :
And, Colonel Rutledge, you and I have talked offline that, perhaps a correlation, you do not recall any kids being diagnosed with autism when you were a child as well, right?
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s true. I, because of the depression and economic situations, there was great mobility for a My father worked for the railroad, so he would be laid off if he wasn’t needed. So there would be weeks at a time, sometimes months at a time, that he would not be able to work. So then we would go back and live in Georgia. We were living in Kentucky at the time, so we’d go back to live with our grandparents. This was a situation that was very common, where you had extended or immediate families that provided a home for you. So these are things which were done in that era. And as far as the autism, I went to six different schools in three different states. And not only did I observe my classmates, but also so many of the schools I went to were first grade through 12th grade, all in the same building or immediate complexes. I never saw one child at any of those schools that had any indication of autism. Furthermore, when autism started in recent years to be recognized and spoken about, I had a good friend who worked at the University of Minnesota, and she used to teach people who were going to be teachers, and she taught child development and many other related subjects. health items. So I asked her two or three years ago, I said, well, when you were teaching, did you ever talk about autism? She said, no. I said, was it in your books anywhere? She said, no. I said, did you ever see a student who actually was autistic? And she said, no. She had taught 30 years at one of the branches of the University of So I knew that it wasn’t just my lack of perception. This was what was happening in the real world. It was not a reality. But then again, we talked very briefly about some of the other things on health and her experience on inoculations and other things of that nature were very similar to mine. So that across the country, what my experience was in Kentucky was very of what other first-grade students were experiencing. We never had a shot until we were in first grade, and that was true for almost everywhere.
SPEAKER 21 :
Wow. Well, we’re going to continue the discussion with Colonel Bill Rutledge, who went to first grade in, like, 1934. We’re talking about first grade. These important discussions happen because of our sponsors, and for everything regarding mortgages, you’ll want to talk to Lorne Levy.

SPEAKER 21 :
And welcome back to the Kim Munson Show. Be sure and check out our website. That is Kim Munson, M-O-N-S-O-N.com. We are talking with Colonel Bill Rutledge regarding first grade. He went to first grade in 1934-35. Colonel Rutledge, we’ve got a lot of information to cover, and I’m thinking we may need to do a part two and get that scheduled because I think this is such important information for people. So let’s get that scheduled and not feel pressured that we have to get through everything because I don’t think that we would. So let’s go to approximately a week after the beginning of the school year in 34-35. Your parents attended a meeting at your elementary school, correct?
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s correct. We had a process where we would go to the school with our parents in order to be registered to enter the first grade and also to meet our first grade teacher. And the meeting was presented by the principal for the school. So we really were meeting the individuals that we would have our contact with when we first went to school. And, of course, the principal would ask the parents, after he had briefed them on what their child might expect in the first grade, he would ask them if they had questions. Now, a lot of the parents had some questions. This I do not recall. I wasn’t paying much attention to what that was happening. But I do remember that I met my first grade teacher that evening. Her name was Mrs. Miss Elizabeth Duncan. She was about 22 or 23. She had never taught before. She had just finished. She’d graduated as a teacher and from one of the colleges in Kentucky. So this was going to be her first year of teaching. But one of the things that was interesting not addressed then, but was a matter of policy in that part of Kentucky, was that the teacher that you got in the first grade stayed with the students for the first three years. And this was very good policy because there was great continuity. She got to know our students so well, and she would know us. individually, what their strengths, their weaknesses were. And so her curriculum and her adjustments on her daily lesson plans and conferences with perhaps parents when needed, everything was individual and one-on-one. And it was a very good learning and progressive experience. I did not detect that at many other schools that I attended to. But in today, because of teachers unions and other factors, it would be very unlikely. But the procedure, though, I think is commendable. And if I had the opportunity to be a principal or a teacher in an elementary school, I would certainly advocate that for right now.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, and Colonel Rutledge, you mentioned the principal and the teachers. And even when I was a kid, it was the principal. The principal normally would have an assistant and you’d have the school board and you’d have the teacher. You didn’t have all of this. very expensive administration that is instead of getting money to the teachers in the classroom these administrators as we talked with open the books are making Kings Kings ransom salaries and yet kids are not being able to read and write in fact you had referenced and I mentioned it earlier that the Epoch Times had an article that some kids are graduating, and many times you have school districts that tout graduation rates, but the kids can’t even read their diplomas. We are letting our children down, and yet we are spending an enormous amount of money in doing so, Colonel Rutledge.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s absolutely true, and it’s a terrible problem. In our era… If a child couldn’t make progress and go up with their fellow classmates, they would stay and repeat the course. This wasn’t a problem in our particular class. We had about 20 students, so everybody went forward. But this was not always the case. There were many times in a lot of schools where people would stay and spend another year and First grade was the most common because it was introducing the person to a learning experience. But there was another thing that was different than all some is that after the second grade, and again, because of the association of one teacher with the same students for two years in a row, that there was a policy in Kentucky and there was also a policy in Florida that the parents were asked if they would be willing to let their child skip the third grade and go directly to the fourth grade. Now, this would only be based upon the judgment of the teachers as to whether they had the capability of moving more quickly. It had merit. I knew a few people who made that decision. My parents were given the option. They said, no, we don’t want him to go and miss the third grade, we want him to stay with his fellow classmates. But when I was in high school, many years later in Florida, I used to play basketball on the team with a fellow who had started first grade, same as I, but he had done the skipping process between third and fourth grade.
SPEAKER 21 :
OK, and we have just a few minutes left in this classroom with Miss Duncan. Tell us about discipline. What did that look like?
SPEAKER 15 :
Discipline was we didn’t have any problems. Miss Duncan was a take charge lady, but she was very considerate. She avoided anything that would be controversial with them. She never spoke down to them. It was almost a motherly relationship where she was very considerate of each child’s needs, and she could recognize those who needed more attention than others. And she even arranged her seating chart so that she would put people in a certain area where if they needed more contact one-on-one with her, maybe she would put them closer to her. She… She was a very talented lady. Even though it was the first year she had ever taught, she remained in that city and taught for approximately 40 years more.
SPEAKER 21 :
Oh, my gosh. That is amazing. Let’s see. Next question. I want to talk just a little bit about the principal as well. What was your feelings about him and how the school was run?
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, look, the principal, we hardly ever saw the principal. This is sort of a highlight, but it was funny. The first day I went to school, I went to school and I got into a pushing contest with one other boy in the hall. And then someone came up and said, if you don’t quit this, the principal is going to get you and take you in his office. And so I went home at noon for lunch because all of us almost went home unless we lived far off. And then you make a bag lunch and take it with you. So I went home and I told my mother, I said, well, I can’t go back this afternoon. And she said, what are you talking about? I said, well, we had a little encounter in the hallway and they said the principal was going to get me. And she said, right after you have your lunch, you’re going straight back to school. It made an impression on me. I don’t know how I can remember such trivia. But it was the start of the starts, what it was.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, Colonel Rutledge, we are out of time, and we’re going to get you scheduled for part two regarding first grade because it is so important, the education of our children. So, Colonel Rutledge, thank you, and we will talk about when we’re going to get you on. I’ve got one opening next week. We’re going to see if that will work for your schedule.
SPEAKER 15 :
That will be fine, and I can move along further into first grade.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, sounds great. And our quote for the end of the show is from John Adams. He said, there are two ways to conquer and enslave a country, I’m going to paraphrase, or a state or a city. One is by the sword, the other is by debt. So today, my friends, be grateful, read great books, think good thoughts, listen to beautiful music, communicate and listen well, live honestly and authentically, strive for high ideals, and like Superman, stand for truth, justice. In the American way, my friends, you are not alone. God bless you. God bless America. Stay tuned for hour number two.

SPEAKER 05 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 21 :
Under this guise of bipartisanship and nonpartisanship, it’s actually tapping down the truth.
SPEAKER 05 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 21 :
On an equal field in the battle of ideas, mistruths and misconceptions is getting us into a world of hurt.
SPEAKER 05 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 21 :
Indeed, let’s have a conversation, and welcome to our number two of the Kim Munson Show. Thank you so much for joining us. You each are treasured, you’re valued, you have purpose.

SPEAKER 19 :
Happy Wednesday, Kim.
SPEAKER 21 :
And we’ve got much work to do as we just have much work to do here with the results of the election. The radical activists that have taken over the Democrat Party were successful in many of their elections here in Colorado. The proposition LL. And MM both passed. I do find something curious about them, that the margins were significantly different. So LL was asking to keep all of the excess money that they’d taken from us, and 64% of the people apparently said yes. Then MM was a tax increase, and all this is ostensibly for healthy school meals for all children. But there’ll be plenty of money that will be going into bureaucrats’ pockets because of all the new bureaucracies that they put in place. But MM, which was the tax increase on people making $300,000 or more, was 58%. And there was about 5,000 more votes that were cast in the MM than LL. And I find that curious. That just does not seem like that’s something that… Voters would do if you’re going down your ballot on both those issues, leave it out or I don’t know, curious. So with that, if you have something curious that happened during this election, I want you to email me at Kim at Kim Munson dot com and or text me at 720-605-0647. if you send an email do send me a text also and say hey kim there’s an email in your inbox so i don’t miss it it’s kim kimmunson.com and that text line is 720-605-0647 i’ll talk about it probably with trent luce when we get to it here in a little bit i had someone that reached out yesterday with something curious that happened and have heard of other curious things that have happened and i would like to do uh to log those in And so please, while it’s still fresh in your mind, email me at kim at kimmunson.com and then text me 720-605-0647 to make sure that I see that. Our quote, our word of the day is portent. It’s P-O-R-T-E-N-T. It’s a noun. It could be an indication of something important or calamitous about to occur, an omen. Number two, a prophetic or threatening significance. And number three, something amazing or marvelous, a prodigy. This is from the American Heritage Dictionary of the English language. And the elections across the nation with the radical activist Democrats that won the elections is important. And I’m concerned about that. Our quote of the day. is from John Adams, his inaugural address in 1797. He was born in 1735. He died July 4, 1826. He was the second president of the United States. He and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day, 1797. 50 years to the day of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. And he said, this is what John Adams said in 1797. He said, in the midst of these pleasing ideas, we should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties, if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections. And that was John Adams all those many years ago. And as you know, we are an independent voice, and that means that we can decide the guests and who we talk and what we talk about. And my goal is, is to help you kick the tires on these ideas so that you can engage in conversations with those in your sphere of influence and make the case for the American idea of freedom, liberty for the individual, our Constitution, what this all means. and we get to do this because of our sponsors. And for everything mortgages, you’ll want to reach out to Loren Levy, and he can help you with a mortgage in 49 of the 50 states, just not New York. Loren Levy, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 04 :
Hey, good morning, Kim.
SPEAKER 21 :
It’s probably okay that you don’t do mortgages in New York because it looks like the reports are that many people will be moving out of New York, and you could help them in any other state, right?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and it might get harder to do him in New York anyhow, but I hope people move out. I mean, someone voted for him, right? So hopefully the people will leave and make a point, but we’ll see.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, we’ll see. Obviously, it’s going to be difficult. But mortgages, first of all, is there been anything? What’s the markets doing with all of these election results? Because the market sometimes reacts, right? Yeah.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, it does. And right now, I mean, typically the market reacts to data regarding the market. So, for example, we got a small beat on the unemployment number today. Very small, not a big market mover. So we’re not seeing much. You know, I talked to you a lot about the 10-year U.S. Treasury, which… Right now it’s at 411. Its recent low was like 399. So we’re in what we call range bound where things are not moving around a whole lot. With the shutdown, the data has also been shut down pretty much. that the Fed relies on. So there hasn’t been a lot of movement lately, which is fine. Markets like stability. And so we’re not seeing a whole lot on the mortgage rate side. They’re staying probably 30-year rates, you know, around the lower end of the stick between six and six and a half, towards the lower end, even around, you know, six and an eighth, six and a quarter, which is, you know, good for a lot of people. It gives them an opportunity if they want to for anyone that’s bought a home in the last couple of years to do a refinance to save money. And, you know, homebuyers are out there, best we can tell.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, so I cannot believe we’re in November. And basically Thanksgiving’s three weeks off. Christmas is right around the corner. Say somebody has found a home that they’re interested in or they want to go looking for a home. What’s the turnaround? It’s always good to be pre-qualified. So how long does that take, Lorne Levy?
SPEAKER 04 :
The pre-qualification process doesn’t take long at all. I mean, if people have time, we can do it right on the phone within, you know, a half an hour on a phone call. And then we can issue them a letter that, you know, the days have changed. You don’t need to be walking around looking for homes with a pre-approval letter in your hand. Oftentimes when someone has a realtor or they’re working with Karen Levine, we can just call them, call the realtor and let them know the work that we’ve done and that we pre-approved the person. And then they can feel comfortable taking them out and showing them homes. And then when they go to make an offer, we just include a letter along with that offer to show the other side. So it’s a quick process, and everything is sped up now with technology. So we can close loans in as soon as three weeks oftentimes. So, yeah, it’s a pretty smooth and painless process.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, so people ideally could be in a new home by Christmas.
SPEAKER 04 :
Absolutely. I mean, we’ve got someone who just went under contract yesterday. It’s going to be on December 1st, and they could still technically be in by Thanksgiving if they wanted to right now, for sure.
SPEAKER 21 :
They’d be unpacking boxes probably on Thanksgiving.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, I’m not sure they’d be all set up and ready to host, but it’d be close.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, not having the fam over, for sure. Okay, Lorne Levy, if people want more information about anything mortgages, what’s the best number to reach you at?
SPEAKER 04 :
The best way is just give us a call at 303-880-8881. That’s Lorne Levy for Everything Mortgages, 303-880-8881. Lorne, we’ll talk next week. All right. Thanks, Kim.

And pleased to have on the line with me Trent Luce. You know him. He’s a sixth-generation farmer and rancher, lives in Nebraska. Trent Luce, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 14 :
Hi, Kim. Did you enjoy that beaver moon, or are you still enjoying that beaver moon?
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, I was enjoying the moon, but I did not know it was a beaver moon. What does that mean? Is that when beavers are busy making their dams, or what’s that all about?
SPEAKER 14 :
So that’s part of it, making their dams, but it was also a very bright moon historically that would allow the American Indians to hunt beaver to prepare for winter.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, okay.
SPEAKER 14 :
And it’s the third super moon of 2025 and the moon that is closest to the Earth of the year. It’s only 221,000 miles away.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, that is super interesting. I had no idea. I’ve never heard of a beaver moon. That is super interesting. And, yeah, preparing for winter. That is interesting.
SPEAKER 14 :
The best boar I’ve ever owned was a spotted purebred spotted boar. I have progeny of him, and this is just kind of a neat little antidote. His name was Loose Beaver Moon. Our prefix is loose, so they’re all named loose, and then Beaver Moon, because I named him in November during a Beaver Moon one year. He was born in May, but he’s been gone for a couple of years, and four of his last remaining daughters, Kelly and I, put in the farrowing house to farrow in the upcoming week, and they are all foresired by Beaver Moon, and we put them in the farrowing house basically with the light of the Beaver Moon. Super interesting. At 7.30 last night.
SPEAKER 21 :
That is super interesting. Well, let’s move over here to that. And thank you for that.
SPEAKER 14 :
I think the beaver moon is more interesting than where you’re going right now.
SPEAKER 21 :
I know. And that’s elections. What’s your thoughts on the elections?
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, so I’ve been on the air, as you know, since 6 a.m. Central Time and haven’t really looked at elections yet. But what I’ve just kind of gleaned from the early reports, it does not look like a good day for conservatives or people who believe in smaller governments.
SPEAKER 21 :
I would say that that is a correct assessment across the board from what I can see. We did have one little glimmer of hope, and that is, I think, on this issue in Littleton where citizens came together to get a question on the ballot about whether or not they want to lose their single-family neighborhoods because the city council was just barreling towards that. But all those that were… Supporting that agenda won those elections, which is is of concern, but it does look like the people say we want to have a say. That’s about the only positive thing that I can find as I was going through all of this. election coverage. The people of Denver voted to extend debt to the tune of just south of a billion dollars with a payback of about $1.8 billion or maximum payback. And my quote for the end of the show from John Adams is about debt. And even though we talk on a about the national debt we’re so concerned about that which we are it’s crazy to me that on the local the county and the state level that people are voting for debt that they have to pay back at the local county and state level um trent loose yeah if you really think about the state of the economy where we’re at and how many people are talking about
SPEAKER 14 :
bigger government is the problem. Even this extends beyond just the party of Republican. I mean, Democrats are telling me the same thing. And yet to have that many people who are just willing to say, yes, I want more government, more debt. We do not have the election integrity situation figured out yet, Kim. That’s the moral of the story.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, interesting that you would bring this up because I was traveling yesterday and I got a text message and said, Kim, help and take a look at your email. And so this, and I won’t use the names, but it says, yesterday I received an email from Colorado Ballot Tracks telling me that they had received my ballot. The problem being I had not yet cast my ballot and my name is not the name that they were calling me. So I emailed the election people telling them this not satisfied that anyone would read it. I called the county election office. I was told it was a clerical error and would be corrected immediately. In fact, he said he corrected it as we spoke. So later in the afternoon, I got another email from Colorado Ballot Tracks telling me that my vote, the other person’s name, had been counted. Hmm, doesn’t sound like the problem was corrected. And said, I want to run this up the flagpole and see what you thought. So I’ve started to run that up the flagpole. But I am recommending if people… If you have anything curious, and I was at a watch party last night and people were talking about some curious things. If you have anything curious, I would like you to email me at Kim at Kim Munson, M-O-N-S-O-N dot com. And I will be watching my emails, but I get a lot. But you can also text me and let me know that there’s an email from you that I need to check, and that is 720-605-0647. And if you have any pictures of anything, extra ballots, anything like that, send me pictures as well. So, Trent, we’ve got to get real serious about it, and I have been serious about it with my colleagues, but we have to get real serious about all this right now.
SPEAKER 14 :
I do know that California apparently passed Proposition 50, which basically allows them to gerrymander their voting districts even more than it already is. I was in Oregon this past weekend. I had a tremendous trip, a quick trip to Baker City, Oregon and Baker County. And it was a meeting primarily to talk about forestry and logging, the lack of logging and the restrictions that are being placed on ranchers. But I did get into some – there was a gentleman there from California, and we were talking about how screwed up the California voting is, and Proposition 50 is just more proof. But he said by them counting – blatantly counting illegals in their census, as they do, it’s estimated by people in California that are in the know that they have – California, the state, has five more – than they legitimately should have in Washington, D.C. You think about the impact that that makes to all voting. If one state has five more people voting than what they should legally, that’s a wreck.
SPEAKER 21 :
It is a wreck, and so we’ll talk more about this here. Okay, so Unite for Freedom, which we raised the money for for one of the lawsuits that we have out there. The other one is through the Wisconsin Center for Election Justice, so we’ll talk about that. But they also did these phantom voter reports, and And they’re basically, it’s basically like a sample, a very scientific sample. And so we raised one, the money for Jefferson County, Colorado as well. And what we found there, you can go to Unite for Freedom, the number for freedom.com. phantom voter reports, and you will see the results there. And this is from 2024. This very scientific sampling said that 9% of the votes in Jefferson County in the 2024 election were Basically, phantom votes. And you can click on that. But that is pretty significant. And we’re working on what we’re going to do exactly with that. But the other one right next to it is the California report. And I think this might have been Orange County. I’ve got to… But anyway, it showed that there were a little over 18% of the votes were inadmissible. So 2.4% of the voters did not exist. 11.2% of the voters were not in compliance. 4.3%, there was no Social Security number. And 0.5%, the vote was missing a voter. That changes elections significantly, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 14 :
That was over 15% if I did my cowboy arithmetic right.
SPEAKER 21 :
It was 18%.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, it was kind of like you running cows out the gate, and I was trying to keep up counting them one at a time.
SPEAKER 21 :
You’re pretty good.
SPEAKER 14 :
It came within three.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, that’s pretty good. Pretty good. So we’ve got work to do. And the other thing is, I was talking with Mike Rolick in the first hour. He’s with the Ralston Valley Coalition and just a great citizen watchdog. And he said voter turnout here in Colorado was pretty low, about 28%. Whereas in the last election in 2024, I think he said it was well over 70%. What’s happening is people, I think, are confused. And I think people are thinking, does it really matter if I vote? And that’s a sad place to be in America, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 14 :
I know that’s a fact. That’s what they’re thinking. I would be curious because, you know, presidential elections always generate the biggest response or biggest turnout. 28%, is that significantly lower than the midterms throughout the course of the last 20 years?
SPEAKER 21 :
I don’t know. I’ll have to research that out. That’s a really good question. So I’ll go to work on that.
SPEAKER 14 :
I wouldn’t be surprised if it is because I believe people are more disgruntled with the whole representation, the representative republic, than they’ve ever been in my lifetime.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, we’re in quite a time right now. So let’s go to break. I’m talking with Trent Luce, sixth generation farmer and rancher, and we’re kicking around what happened regarding the elections. These are such important discussions. They happen because of our sponsors. And the Second Syndicate is so important, the work that they’re doing to protect our Second Amendment rights, because the Second Amendment protects everything else.

Trent Luce, what’s your thoughts about Mondani, I think it is, being elected mayor of New York?
SPEAKER 14 :
I was told it’s 52%. I’m perplexed that the city of New York, I’m not perplexed anymore. If there is no election integrity, they’re going to have the winner to be who they want it to be. I cannot believe that the city of New York and the citizens who ultimately believe in freedom are going to go vote for this individual. I’m actually following closer. This may seem strange, but my dear friend Kevin Jenkins, who is going to be with us this weekend, I’m leaving today, Kim, to go to North Carolina and Tennessee for the Man March 2025. Kevin Jenkins is coming and going to be one of the presenters. But his wife is currently running for a Newark, New Jersey, council seat. It’s a central ward council. And they’re reporting right now with 97% of the districts reporting she is behind by 78 votes. Oh, my gosh. Here’s my question. This is supposedly all computer done, right?
SPEAKER 10 :
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 14 :
Why at 8 o’clock a.m. the morning after a computer is supposedly generating these answers just with whatever data has been inputted, why do we only have 98%, 97% reporting? Why isn’t it 100%? My computer happens to do things like on the spur of the moment. You punch a button and boom, it generates results. Why do we have to wait?
SPEAKER 21 :
Yes, that is another very good question, because it seems like the longer we wait, the more successful the Democrat or the tax issue that we want to defeat. The longer we wait, then those things pass. The Democrat wins. Why is that, Trent Luce?
SPEAKER 14 :
In this case, my friend Gail is the Democrat.
SPEAKER 21 :
Oh, really? Really.
SPEAKER 14 :
correct okay well tell me a little bit more about that then uh well i can tell you what kevin will tell me who’s as conservative as anybody i know there’s no chance a republican conservative getting elected in newark that’s what he told me okay and so she’s a conservative democrat but I’m way beyond the Democrat-Republican thing. I no longer think that plays a bearing in this at all. It’s all political jargon. It doesn’t, at the end of the day, represent the will of the people. We have corruption on both sides of the aisle.
SPEAKER 21 :
I agree. I do agree.
SPEAKER 14 :
Which is why I exited that nonsense. And since 2022, I’ve been a registered independent. Because I’m conservative. I’m probably more of a libertarian, but we need to strengthen that. But then you just get back into party politics. I want individuals to collectively with their thoughts and their views and their priorities to determine what happens in these elections, not party politics, either way, shape or form. I got a guy who represents me in Washington, D.C., that continues to send me things that are not really relevant to what’s important for our future. And yet that’s what the GOP is telling him needs to be our campaign mantra, is bang the drum for Chinese land, that we cannot allow the Chinese to buy land. I agree. But that is far, in a way, not in the top ten priorities of where you should be looking at right now. We should be looking at what you brought up, the debt. We should be looking at the United States government, which is a bigger threat to land ownership than the Chinese government.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, and the other thing on that Chinese ownership thing is that I’ve heard that there are American farmers that could possibly be willing to work with the Chinese to buy the land, but it would appear that the American farmer is owning the land. Have you heard anything like that?
SPEAKER 14 :
That happens. There’s no doubt that happens. But that is not the threat to our national security as compared to what is happening through the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service and the confiscation of land. And something else that you continually bring up that I saw up close and personal and I’ve spent a lot of time talking about this week is that I drove from Boise, Idaho to Baker City and back from my flight this week on Sunday. And I see all these cookie cutter housing units going up, brand new cookie cutter housing units, three, four stories high. I see the same exact housing unit everywhere. And it falls into this whole nonsense about we need more affordable housing. You can’t tell me that brand new facility I just saw is affordable housing that somebody who’s barely getting by is going to be able to afford to live in that place.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, the other thing, Trent Luce, is we have these all over the place. And I would really like to know what the vacancy rate is on these big apartment buildings that are being subsidized. And under the guise of affordable housing… They’re doing these land grabs and taking land so that the government owns the land underneath. And I saw this, gosh, a number of years ago here in Denver. They were doing land trusts under the guise of affordable housing where… The government would own the land, and then people ostensibly owned their home that was on the land. But they’re really just renting the land and living in the home. So this really has been the agenda of the World Economic Forum, is to get rid of private property ownership. And the American idea was based on private property ownership. And I was talking to my friend that picked me up from the airport yesterday. We were talking about this. I said, this is no longer, and you mentioned it, this is no longer Democrat or Republican. Because she said, and so many people say this, that we’re so divided, we need to unite. And I said, we cannot, we can’t unite with people that want to destroy our country. We just can’t do that. There’s no way you’re going to unify on that. We need to unify around this idea that all men are created equal with these rights from God of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. So what’s your thoughts on that, Trent Luce?
SPEAKER 14 :
No, I agree 100%. And I do have a success story in what you’re describing with these land grabs. And I aired this past week Dustin Kittle, who is a longtime friend. He’s a cattleman, but he’s also an attorney. And in Tennessee, they’re fighting what is called the Mount Pleasant Project, which is to take farmland and turn it into one of these housing development centers. And his lawsuit has been able to keep that at bay. So there are some success stories. But the other thing, just you mentioned the World Economic Forum, and people want to poo-poo that, that that’s somehow playing a role in this. You go back and look who the ownership of all of these land grabs are, and I did this week in a dissertation tie wind and solar and AI data centers and the land that’s going into bringing that forward, you will find common denominators. And the most common common denominator is BlackRock. And who’s the CEO of BlackRock? BlackRock is the CEO of Larry Fink. And who is the current chairman of of the World Economic Forum, Larry Fink. It’s the same guy.
SPEAKER 21 :
I know. I know, I know, I know. Now, this came in from Jenny. She said we are at a tipping point where we have more people in the wagon than pulling the wagon. And so there’s been all these comments about that we’re going to have civil unrest when people would lose their SNAP benefits. And I was talking with someone… about it over the weekend. And they said, well, the government helped people back in the 30s. And I said, and it just kind of came out, I said, yeah, but they did projects. They worked for it. And that was like a big aha moment. Now, you know, We can put it over there and say, was it right what happened with all those work projects back in the 30s? We’re going to put that to the side. The thing was, was if you were going to get assistance from the government, there were projects that were built then, such as Red Rocks and the Hoover Dam. People worked instead of just getting a handout. And I thought that was a big aha, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 14 :
I think that’s absolutely spot on. But the other question that I have in today’s world, because last week you and I talked about the SNAP benefits and you asked me point blank, are they going to go away? Are they going to not get paid and they’re not getting paid? But then all of a sudden, out of the blue, we have a judge that says that you can’t do this. You must pay them. And so USDA decides, OK, we’re going to pay half of them. Where’s the constitutional authority of a judge to come in and say that?
SPEAKER 21 :
these rogue judges are way out of the limits of the Constitution. And I was talking with somebody about Trump and things that he’s doing. And I said it’s important that he stays within the confines of the Constitution. And that’s whether or not it’s a city council person all the way to the top. People need to know the Constitution. And you talk about that all the time, Trent Luce. And we are at We are at that time. We have got to engage. We’re going to be getting together for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and we’ve got to engage thoughtfully and with great reason regarding this American idea. We don’t have a lot of time because when we look at the results of this particular election, we’ve got to get the election integrity thing figured out. We don’t have any more time. The time is now. And if we don’t step up… and engage in these issues, this America that we love. As I mentioned, we are living on the fumes of freedom, and we have to step up to reclaim our state and our country.
SPEAKER 14 :
We are living on the fumes of freedom. That’s a perfect analogy.
SPEAKER 21 :
And it’s the freedom that started 250 years ago, Trent Luce. And because of the amazing idea of the American idea, what could happen? Well, everyday people could thrive and flourish. But as Jenny many times says, we’re giving up our freedoms for convenience. And also people think that they’re voting for security. And I think Ben Franklin said, And many people have said that if you give up security or if you give up freedom for security, you will have neither, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 14 :
No, 100 percent.
SPEAKER 21 :
OK.
SPEAKER 14 :
What’s the word I’m looking for? A wise guy, prophetic every single day, doesn’t he?
SPEAKER 21 :
A wise guy?
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, a wise guy in terms of. very almost like he could see the future. He could see what was taking place and what we needed to do to preserve what they were trying to put into place at the time. I mean, a wise guy in the term of how it’s been completely hijacked by the mafia. Yeah.
SPEAKER 21 :
I know. I know. And the thing about it, Trent, is our founders, they studied and they looked at all these different governments. And we don’t have to do that. What they put together with the Constitution… And looking at this form of government, which was very radical at the time, that would be based on property rights and individual freedom. And Larry Fink and company, head of BlackRock and also head of the World Economic Forum, they are doubling down. across the board with this particular land grab. And we’ve got to stand strong on this. So we’re going to continue the discussion with Trent Luce. The time is down, my friends. We’ve got to step up. And we have these discussions because they’re independent discussions because of our sponsors and all of your support. And if you’ve been injured, reach out to John Bozen and Bozen Law.

You can get more information about all that by going to their website, which is AmericanValuesCenter.org. AmericanValueCenter.org. We’ve been talking with Trent Luce about the elections. We have work to do, but I’m concerned about our food source with the land grabs on our farming and ranching land. which will mean less land for food production. We in the urban areas have taken for granted affordable and abundant food supplies. Beef is a great source of protein. And, Trent, I was looking at some of the things that you posted this last week, and you said that I guess the global beef market had a presentation in Nebraska, and you said your concerns were confirmed. What’s going on there?
SPEAKER 14 :
So it was actually the World Hereford Tour where Hereford breeders from five different countries. Well, no, that’s not true. The event, the place that I went to, there was five countries represented. There were over ten countries represented in the total for two weeks. They all converged. Each year they pick a place to go have a tour. This year it happened to be the United States. I personally interacted with people from four different countries in conjunction with what I do every day on my Across the Pond TV program. Talk to somebody from New Zealand, somebody from France, somebody from Australia, somebody from the UK, usually Canada. Today I talked to somebody from El Salvador. We talked about beef in El Salvador. And I talked to a gentleman from Uruguay, and I talked to other people last Monday at what you were referencing, the World Hereford Tour, which came to Thedford, Nebraska. And every single country that I talk to somebody that’s involved in the beef industry, they all tell me this. They have a record low inventory of beef cows. They cannot get enough cattle to supply the demand, and it’s all induced by drought. First of all, I don’t buy the drought part. We have sold that to ourselves in the United States. We’ve had periods of drought in cattle country forever. But when you have a level of profitability, you can maneuver around a drought. You can go find a region where we don’t have drought. And in fact, 2025, we have the least amount of drought I think the country has ever seen in recent history in the United States. You cannot have, Kim, the moral of that story is you cannot have Every country in the world, except India, that has a record low number of cattle. And I remind people about the whole Argentina scenario. Argentina in the fall of 2024. did not have enough beef to supply the needs for the people, and consequently the increased prices made beef unaffordable in Argentina. And so they started importing Brazilian beef into Argentina, which is why it was so confusing to me that we had Trump saying, we have high beef prices in the United States, so we’re going to import Argentina beef. Well, people quit eating beef in Argentina, which were the number one beef consumers per capita in the world until the summer of 2024. And we’re going to bring beef in from Argentina to here to decrease our cost? The attack on beef ownership. And, oh, I left out the other part. In Ireland, I have a friend who left Ireland because his family was told they had to reduce a third of the beef cows that they have. Dairymen in Ireland and all EU countries have been told they have to reduce the number of animals in the name of climate change by one-third. There’s an intended attack on ruminant animals, and that is because a ruminant animal can convert the land that is not suitable to growing crops to feed people upcycled into the most nutrient-dense food substance on the planet. And that’s the attack that I have now documented is taking place in every country, minus the country with the largest number of beef animals, which is India, where they don’t eat them.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, then this caller called in and talked to Joe and said, do you know anything about the BLM, Bureau of Land Management, killing animals to protect them? Okay, so tell me what’s going on with that.
SPEAKER 14 :
So they have a plan, and I tried to find out about it this past week, but I was in eastern Oregon, I wasn’t in western Oregon, and all of this is pretty much taking place in western Oregon. It goes back to the spotted owl, and the spotted owl numbers they claim are dwindling. And, of course, they tried to blame logging, and that’s what Al Gore started, and we’re still fighting that, and people all throughout the West in the logging world are fighting that very issue. But what the Bureau of Land Management, and particularly U.S. Fish and Wildlife, determined was that U.S. Fish and Wildlife is part of the Department of Interior. What they determined is that the barred owl is mating with the spotted owl female. So the male barred owl is more attractive and has more of a mating opportunity with the spotted owl female because the barred owl is bigger and more masculine, which I find funny, but that’s what they said. And so consequently, the wisdom of the Bureau of Land Management says, okay, here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to go kill 435,000 barred owls to try to help save the spotted owl because these females have a preference for the barred owl instead of the male spotted owl. And that’s what they’re carrying out this year. Look what they’ve done.
SPEAKER 21 :
Sounds to me like the barred owl is becoming an endangered species.
SPEAKER 14 :
At the hands of killers of your Bureau of Land Management, which represents you, because you and I collectively, with every other 330 million legal Americans, own 33% of this land mass, and the government agencies cannot get it right. Right. Their answer to this problem is to go kill 435,000 barred owls this year. Who knows what they plan to do next year?
SPEAKER 21 :
So how are they going to kill them?
SPEAKER 14 :
With government shooters.
SPEAKER 21 :
No way.
SPEAKER 14 :
Exactly. No way.
SPEAKER 21 :
Oh, boy. Okay, Trent Luce, we’ve got a couple minutes.
SPEAKER 14 :
Probably CO2 them. That’s what they plan to do with the ostriches. Yeah, they have to get them contained in an area. And so, yeah, I should go be a part of that, but it’s a long way to Oregon.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, it is a long way to Oregon.
SPEAKER 14 :
I’m going to the man march in North Carolina. That’s farther yet.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, so we’ve got two minutes left. Tell us about that.
SPEAKER 14 :
It’ll be the third Man March, the first two I put together in the Dakotas. My partner on Wing and a Prayer, Pastor Jeff Weiss, organized and wanted to bring the Man March 2025 to Appalachian Country. And it is what is to be a man, it should be in the eyes of God, as it is biblically, head of the household, being strong, not being wishy-washy, not taking a stand where a stand is need to be taken seriously. and just fulfilling the family unit as God intended. And we get together each year. We celebrate this. My friend Kevin Jenkins has been a part of every one of them from New Jersey. And we’ve got Preachy coming in. We’ve got Pastor Jeff Weiss. And we have Lee Brown, who has led the charge. She’s been fantastic in leading the charge in the Patriot Relief effort with Hurricane Lisa. Helene, and we’re going right to the heart of where this hurricane had the greatest damage in Asheville, North Carolina, two years ago.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, and Lee Brown’s good friends with Karen Levine, our sponsor, and we’ve had Lee Brown on the show many times as well. When is this March?
SPEAKER 14 :
First March, Asheville, North Carolina, on Friday this week. The second one is outside of Knoxville, Tennessee, and then the third one is on Sunday on outside of Knoxville, Tennessee, at a different location. But it’s all on my website, Loosetalesmedia.com. And Lee Brown is awesome.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yes, she is awesome. Trent Luce, as always, thank you. We will talk with you next week. Good luck on the Man March. And carry on, my friend, carry on.
SPEAKER 14 :
Help save the masculinity of the barred owl. That’s the moral of the story today.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, more to come on that. So the quote for the end of this show is from John Adams. He said this, there are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt. So my friends today, be grateful, read great books, think good thoughts, listen to beautiful music, communicate and listen well, live honestly and authentically, strive for high ideals and like Superman, stand for truth, justice and the American way. My friends, you are not alone. God bless you and God bless America.
